Which subatomic particle plays the greatest part in determining the properties of an element?

Chemistry

Explanation:

Every atom consists of three sub-atomic particles which are protons, neutrons and electrons.

Inside the nucleus of an atom, there will be only protons and neutrons. Whereas electrons revolve around the nucleus of an atom.

But in a chemical reaction it is only the electrons that are able to participate. Whereas protons and neutrons only participate in nuclear reactions and not in any chemical reactions.

For example, H_{2} + Cl_{2} \rightarrow 2HCl

These electrons help in determining the reactivity of a substance because every atom wants to attain stability. Hence, they react with other atoms according to their number of valence electrons.

Thus, we can conclude that electrons are the subatomic particle plays the greatest part in determining the properties of an element.

Part A:
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

Part A = The mass of sulfur is 6.228 grams

Part B = The mass of 1 silver atom is 1.79 * 10^-22 grams

Explanation:

Part A

Step 1: Data given

A mixture of carbon and sulfur has a mass of 9.0 g

Mass of the product = 27.1 grams

X = mass carbon

Y = mass sulfur

x + y = 9.0  grams

x = 9.0 - y

x(molar mass CO2/atomic mass C) + y(molar mass SO2/atomic mass S) = 22.6

(9 - y)*(44.01/12.01) + y(64.07/32.07)

(9-y)(3.664) + y(1.998)

32.976 - 3.664y + 1.998y = 22.6

-1.666y = -10.376

y = 6.228 = mass sulfur

x = 9.0 - 6.228 = 2.772 grams = mass C

The mass of sulfur is 6.228 grams

Part B

Calculate the mass, in grams, of a single silver atom (mAg = 107.87 amu ).

Calculate moles of 1 silver atom

Moles = 1/ 6.022*10^23

Moles = 1.66*10^-24 moles

Mass = moles * molar mass

Mass = 1.66*10 ^-24 moles *107.87

Mass = 1.79 * 10^-22 grams

The mass of 1 silver atom is 1.79 * 10^-22 grams

Use IUPAC rules to name this compound. A) nitrogen iodide B) nitrogen triiodide C) mononitrogen iodide D) mononitrogen triiodide
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

Name of the compound is Nitrogen triiodide.

Explanation:

According to the IUPAC rules, to naming of the compound the following formula can be applied.

Prefix + Name of first element + Base name element of second element + Suffix.

The given compound - NI_{3}

Name of first element- Nitrogen

Base name element of second element - Iodine

Suffix = 3 = tri

Here, iodine is in ionic form therefore, it becomes iodide. and then suffix will be added in front of the halogen.

Therefore, name of the compound will be  Nitrogen triiodide..
